Overview

On the heels of his 2010 New York Times bestseller Conspiracy of the Rich, Robert Kiyosaki takes a hard-hitting look at the factors that impact people from all walks of life as they struggle to cope with change and challenges that impact their financial world.

In Unfair Advantage: The Power of Financial Education Robert underscores his messages and challenges readers to change their context and act in a new way. Readers are advised to stop blindly accepting that they are `disadvantaged' people with limited options. They are encouraged to act beyond their concept of limited options and challenge the preconception that they will struggle financially all of their lives.

Robert's fresh approach to his time-tested messages includes clear, actionable steps that any individual or family can take, starting with education. Education becomes applied knowledge, a powerful tactic with measurable results.

In true Rich Dad style, readers will be challenged to understand two points of view, and experience how financial knowledge is their unfair advantage.

What does school teach you about money? In most cases, the answer is “Not much.” If there is any financial education, the courses are taught by financial planners and bankers... the agents of Wall Street and the big banks, the very people that caused and profited from the financial crisis.

This book is about real financial education. This book is about how debt and taxes make the rich richer...and why debt and taxes makes the poor and middle class struggle.

This book explains why the rich get richer, paying less in taxes, while the middle class shrinks-with many losing jobs, homes, and retirement-and paying more in taxes. This book is about the five unfair advantages a real financial education offers.
The Unfair Advantage of Knowledge
The Unfair Advantage of Taxes
The Unfair Advantage of Debt
The Unfair Advantage of Risk
The Unfair Advantage of Compensation
These five unfair advantages are the outcomes of real financial education.


Editorial Reviews

Publishers Weekly

It's back to the well for Kiyosaki, author of over a dozen books in the Rich Dad series, whose insights into business have made him extremely wealthy. Kiyosaki argues that saving money is "foolish," and in order to understand this, a financial education (to go along with your academic and professional ones) is necessary. In the course of the book, Kiyosaki reveals how much he likes gold, silver, and real estate, but wisely refuses to recommend them to everyone at all times. Besides savers, he also hates mutual funds and those who get into debt buying non-essentials. Using diagrams, bullet points, and subsections, Kiyosaki certainly makes his complex points more approachable, and dances a fine line between provocative prose and self-promotion. Kiyosaki's overall goal to change the way people think and learn about money is an important one. While he wants people to proactively seek a financial education, he also wants to promote his own brand. (Apr.)

NOVEMBER 2012 - AudioFile

In spite of continued economic uncertainty, Kiyosaki says, the right financial education can lead to big success. His strategy emphasizes taking advantage of economic downturns by investing in property and taking on debt. Tim Wheeler narrates in a calm tone that seems meant to reassure listeners. With an emphasis on the hurdles and pitfalls that listeners face in the new economy, Kiyosaki's advice nonetheless has an urgent tone that pushes listeners toward the entrepreneurial life. The single-narrator format turns into a drawback when Kiyosaki's wife, Kim, takes over the writing. While this book is valuable, listeners seriously interested in entrepreneurship may prefer one with more practical guidance than Kiyosaki's personal experience provides.
